150: Chapter 150 Gao Qiu is back
Annie felt a bit strange.
"Ah? Mr. Gao, what do you mean? Support Europa against the Polar Bear?"
"I just feel that the Europeans probably expect to receive help from America!"
"I understand!"
Annie was keeping a very level head now. Currently, the Eastern Emperor was causing a huge stir among the people, and polls showed Annie's approval rating was less than 40%!
But Annie wasn't panicked at all.
Who could support Gao Yuan more than she did?
Fixing an approval rating was hard, but fixing the Eastern Emperor was simple.
Previously, Annie's subordinates had complaints, but after Gao Yuan's single strike 'boiled the sea and destroyed the nation'—leaving the world without Neon—everyone was submissive.
Someone had simulated how many shots America could take, and the conclusion was three! Although America's land area was thirty times that of Neon, it really only needed three shots... though the outcome would be slightly better than Neon's; at least the land wouldn't sink, it's just that... no human or beast would be left alive!
The Antimatter Cannon was too terrifying.
"Mr. Gao, I want to know, to what extent should we maintain the intensity?"
Annie was very cautious.
"Just a stalemate!"
"Understood!"
Gao Yuan hung up the phone.
Thinking about how the Future World only had the Xia Ethnic Group as the sole primary ethnicity, he felt that was actually quite good. Unfortunately, there was now a high probability that there wouldn't be a large-scale nuclear war!
After all, with him around, others might not dare to go all out.
This wasn't actually good either.
But wars could still happen!
"Annie, I think the wealthy in America probably need a miracle drug..."
As soon as Gao Yuan mentioned it, Annie understood immediately.
The doctors' strike in the Southern Dynasty a while ago had caused quite a stir, but now those doctors had suddenly gone quiet. It was because Nine Stars had a miracle drug... it could treat the vast majority of diseases. In this way, most doctors would be phased out.
Some wealthy people had already begun obtaining the miracle drug from the Southern Dynasty...
After verification, the wealthy in America already knew that this drug was a longevity artifact. Even if one was terminally ill, it could repair the body to maintain life for another year.
Annie thought this was a benefit Gao Yuan was giving her; she could use these miracle drugs to control the middle class and the wealthy. As for those homeless, they could just be left to fend for themselves!
"Thank you, Mr. Gao..."
"I'll send the miracle drug to you later. We can discuss the price; you arrange it..."
Annie had a look of surprise. Mr. Gao was indeed her soulmate, understanding her so well.
...
After hanging up, Gao Yuan thought for a moment. Life-Sustaining Base Fluid had already opened up the Polar Bear and American markets. As for the Southern Dynasty, that was just a lead-in. Looking at it now, the effect was quite good. Of course, some people were dissatisfied, but in the face of the state machine, that dissatisfaction was not worth mentioning.
If it were also rolled out in the Xia Kingdom, the medical industries of the three strongest economies in the world would all suffer a devastating blow. If Europa were included as well, it could be said that ninety percent of the world's medical industry would be scrapped!
In time, he would completely control the world's healthcare.
Healthcare, economy, military... a trinity. Unfortunately, there was still a long way to go.
He stayed in Muza for a few days...
Qin Tiejun's raw materials began arriving in a steady stream. According to Gao Yuan's request, these materials were delivered to an open space on the outskirts of Linzhou!
Gao Yuan passed through the Space-Time Gate again and appeared inside Longjing. The fires in the city had been extinguished, but after the fire swept through, the once prosperous city had become a mess. More importantly, there were radiation zones around Longjing. Previously, there was a canopy for protection, but now the canopy had been burned away.
Now the radiation inside Longjing exceeded safe levels.
This place was no longer suitable for human habitation. After a brief moment of remembrance, Gao Yuan returned to the Real World and then led tens of thousands of newly produced robots from Linzhou into the Future World.
The raw materials were continuously transported to the settlement by the robots using heavy trucks.
Gao Yuan met Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked troubled: "Director Gao, we have a big problem!"
Hmm?
Gao Yuan was a bit dazed: "What's the matter?"
"We still need you to provide some steel!"
"How much?"
"My settlement here only needs ten billion tons! But there are 100 settlements in total..."
Gao Yuan was stunned...
"Ten billion tons?"
If he remembered correctly, the steel production of all countries on Earth in the Real World was less than 2 billion tons!
The key was that this was just for one settlement.
If there were a hundred, that would be one trillion tons. In the Real World, since the birth of humanity, the total steel production hadn't been that much!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"But to rebuild the city, this is already the plan with the minimum steel requirement!"
Gao Yuan was about to retort when he stared at Lin Xiao: "I remember you told me before that steel could be hauled from Longjing, right?"
"Yes... but it's not realistic! Longjing is now full of nuclear radiation. Entering it means being irradiated. Even robots will malfunction after a short while. Moreover, the steel in Longjing has been contaminated by nuclear radiation. Using it to build a new city... I'm afraid it's not safe!"
Gao Yuan wanted to curse...
Didn't they know this before?
He looked at Lin Xiao's expression, and his heart suddenly jolted. No, they must have known about such an obvious oversight. But why didn't they say so before, and only mentioned it now that he had delivered the raw materials!
Gao Yuan thought for a moment; it was probably because if they had said it before, he would likely have abandoned the task and quit.
Now that he had delivered the raw materials...
"Academician Lin, I think living in tents is quite good! Living in high-rises is so inconvenient!"
Lin Xiao gave an embarrassed smile.
"Director Gao, actually, this wasn't my idea... it's, oh well, I'll just say it plainly, someone wants to see you!"
Gao Yuan was taken aback...
Who?
At that moment, a person walked out of a tent by the roadside. Under the sunlight, the wrinkles on his face were deeper, and his gaze was more melancholy.
"Grand Marshal, you've returned to Earth?"
Gao Qiu slowly walked toward Gao Yuan. At this time, some people nearby saw Gao Qiu and began to whisper.
"Is this... Officer Gao?"
"Officer Gao isn't dead?"
"Gao Qiu..."
Qin Gang's face was full of shock.
Gao Yuan was also somewhat excited. It had been several years. The last time they met was in a dim mine on Vesta. Meeting here this time was indeed beyond Gao Yuan's expectations.
"How did you come back?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Earth needs me more..."
Gao Yuan roughly understood. Gao Gan went to replace Gao Qiu, and Gao Qiu returned to take charge of the overall situation!
At a time like this, who could have more charisma and influence than Gao Qiu?
Gao Qiu was a legend. At this moment, just by appearing, everyone quieted down. No matter what they were doing, they stopped and quietly watched the old man.
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"Officer Gao is back... Long live!"
"Long live... Officer Gao is mighty!"
Zhou Wuguang let out a sigh of emotion. It was this old man who had knocked him down from his position as one of the Big Three... He had thought he was long dead, but he didn't expect him to reappear now. What had he been doing all these years?
